Future Man: Josh Hutcherson Cast in Hulu Comedy Pilot

From Hunger Games to Hulu. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Hutcherson has been cast in the streaming service’s new comedy pilot, Future Man.

The series comes from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Future Man will star Hutcherson as Josh Futturman, a janitor who lives at home with his parents and has low self-esteem.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

The only thing he excels at is Cybergeddon, a video game set in a dystopian future where his character, Future Man, has the top ranking in the world. When Josh beats the final level, he’s visited by characters from the game who claim it is a training manual and he’s been selected to travel back in time and help them save the world. Is he ready? Absolutely not.”

Kyle Hunter and Ariel Schaffir are set to write the pilot, with Rogen and Goldberg directing.
